No, the E14 can only be fitted to and will currently only work with the latest Bosch and Panasonic eBike motors.

3300km (2100 miles)... original drivetrain.

One new factor today... the high eBike torques produced (motor plus pedal force) will accelerate drivetrain wear. Ideally is to use the drivetrain as long as possible until it is worn and starts to give issue.... then change the chain, cassette and front chainring so as to maximise the life of...

The chain doesn’t bed in, the chain prematurely stretches if you use it with a worn cassette (or front chainring)... because it is forced to conform to the elongated and worn cassette tooth profile. And that will cause skipping because the chain (when new) cannot properly sit into the worn tooth...

Rohloff's E14 electronic shifting is available only for the Bosch motors at this time. Hopefully they will bring out a retrofit very soon or develop the E14 software/CAN-bus interface other motors. It works, it is great - but only Bosch for now.

Yes, I have measured the chain. Chain wear as I mention in the video (7:50) and show the measurement tool on the chain (8:05), is about half-worn, half-stretched for a chain with steel sprockets... that is, less than 0.1mm per link (mine chain is currently around 0.05-0.06, as it is nearly...

The simple answer Hasse is that it is not a problem shifting up hill. I would say 1 in 30 or more uphill shifts I may experience a little motor overrun and you just wait another half a second. But the big plus over an eMtb derailleur is that you can then change 2 or 5 or 14 gear in one twist if...

There are options for trigger shifters, but all are third party. Rohloff only make the twist shifter which many riders love, although others do not or have trouble with as you mention.

9 months on and 2500kms on my Specialized Turbo Levo, fitted with a Rohloff Speedhub drivetrain (14-speed geared hub). No issues... still with the original chain, original rear sprocket, original front chainring and nothing needs replacing - just keep on enjoying the ride. Really happy with the...

1,950kms... the chain is starting to show some wear and stretch :-) Original fitted chain, rear sprocket and front chainring at the time of the Rohloff conversion. All 1950kms on the trails, including 5 races.

Sorry... only just saw this one. The 148mm boost is no issue as Rohloff now has their A12 (12mm thru-axle) version available in 142, 148, 177 and 197mm O.L.D. (inside-inside of dropout) and 32 and 36 hole versions. Disc brake setup is also no issue with various new brackets designed for the 12mm...

Installing the parts easy. Having Rohloff provide you the CAN information necessary to program it - nope. You can always ask.

thebarber… just interested, what with the Rohloff did you feel would be a bit of trial and error? Cheers Paul.

Wepn… glad to hear you're enjoying your new Kenevo. I helped the guys at JustRide (Specialized) with fitting your Rohloff and it all went very well - they did a great job. Btw, there is a downhill chain tensioner which tucks up closer again to the rear stay, but it is fixed and you need to take...

I just saw this... did I reply to you back in April? I can't find any reply, so if I didn't I can certainly answer your questions. Just posted a more detailed PowerPoint last night at the bottom of this thread if that helps. Or contact me [email protected] 0452-339289. Cheers and apologies if...

Sorry it took so long to respond... been busy with other work (that pays). I've put together what I think may answer your questions and hopefully the many others that have asked various questions as well. It is a PowerPoint which you can stop and pause, or I can send it in a pdf. Cheers Paul.

A number of people have contacted me and posted asking for more detail... hope this video/PowerPoint helps. As for the Specialized it has been fault free, no issues and no maintenance over the 750kms so far. Chain and sprocket wear are so minimal it is not measurable. And I have continued to...

Yes... you do have to back off pedalling, you cannot change under load/whilst pedalling (light pedalling possible). But you can do that in a fraction of a second and change 1 or 10 gears all at once... so it doesn't slow you down. It takes a little getting used to, but it soon becomes second...

No problem and I prefer it to a trigger shift, but I’ve been using SRAM and Rohloff twist shifters for 15 years as a preference. In the end it’s a personal preference. I like grabbing a handful of gears easily with the twist shift.

Ok, will do in a couple of days. Travelling now and back home next two days. Cheers Paul.
